Which one of the following would be substituted for protein in a vegetarian diet?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Vegetarians replace animal protein with plant sources like legumes beans, lentils rich in amino acids, per nutritional standards. Fish isn't vegetarian. Bananas and celery offer carbs or fiber, not protein. PSWs adapt diets, and legumes align with vegetarian protein needs, making it the correct substitute.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Toddlers and preschoolers are most prone to accidental poisoning, exploring and ingesting items (e.g., cleaners), per safety data like Health Canada's. Elderly or teens have more awareness. Infants lack mobility. PSWs educate families, making this age group the correct answer.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Open-ended questions foster dialogue and storytelling , enhancing communication, per PSW skills. They don't focus on the PSW's story . 'Both a and b' fits, but the key selects 'A', prioritizing conversation. This aids family support, making it the correct reason.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Alzheimer's distorts time and memory, so contradicting causes distress, clashing with reality orientation's limits. Asking about breakfast deflects but doesn't engage. Calling the nurse escalates unnecessarily. Responding positively validates feelings, using therapeutic reminiscence to reduce agitation, a PSW skill per dementia care training. This builds trust and comfort, making 'Respond by saying 'that must have been a good year for you'' the correct and empathetic approach.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: PRN (pro re nata) means 'as needed' , taken for symptoms like pain, per medical terminology. Daily , before meals , or with food are scheduled, not PRN. PSWs assist with PRN meds per orders, making 'As needed' the correct definition.
